'Vampire Diaries' exec promises Damon, Stefan confrontation

The Vampire Diaries' executive producer Kevin Williamson has suggested that family will be an important theme in the show's upcoming third season.

Williamson explained that the series will examine the bond between Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) in future episodes.

"We're going to dive more into the relationship [between] Damon and Stefan," he told TV Guide. "You're going to see them confront each other."

Williamson also teased that fans will find out more about Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and his family as the season continues.

"This year, with the Original family afoot, it's going to be about the hybrid and about Klaus and what he's up to, because he's the bastard child of the Original family," he said. "We'll see his agenda and how Stefan plays into it."
